I grew up during the 90's and 2000's. I would hate to use Silicon Valley as an example for a normal american life. In most of America, you could give your kids pretty good opportunities without earning 500k. As for the immigrant mother struggling, this was true even 30 years ago when things were supposedly better.
- nostrademons 7y agoSilicon Valley has a track record of being just like the rest of America, just 10-20 years ahead of it. My wife grew up here during the 80s and 90s; the middle-class lifestyle was very achievable then. When I compare her childhood with mine, it wasn't that different - the main differences are outdoor school hallways, bigger high schools (it was my school that was atypical here), more non-white people, and everybody liked hip-hop instead of rock music.
